Wifi Light Switch

I am looking to upgrade the light switches that control my outdoor lights to wifi switches to allow me to program them on a dusk till dawn schedule. I do not have an automation hub of any kid, but would consider that as an option. Any recommendations?
I am leaning towards these, but the reviews are not great.

My uncle has some of the plugs for outdoor lighting and a fountain and he loves them.

This is what I use for my outdoor lights. While it's Bluetooth and not wifi, it does allow you to set a schedule. They are supposed to be coming out with a wifi version soon, but I haven't heard when. One set of batteries is supposed to last a full year. I've had mine for 4 months and the battery indicator is at 80%.

What hub are you using?

I have 1 wemo switch.
At first it had a couple connection issues. Just uad to reset it.
Since then its been 100% reliable.
I dont know about the schedule part, but the switch is good.

No hub at this point. I am just weighing my options. If a hub is the best way or an individual switch.

Lutron Casseta
Leviton decora wifi switch
These are a few options I've found. Leviton switch doesn't require a hub and works with a few voice control products. (Alexa/Siri)

Why not use a photocell to kick on and off depending on ambient light? Unless you just want to control it with your phone.

i use the Smart Things hub with the GE z wave light switches and it works beautifully

I just installed one of These tp link switches
Works over my current wifi network with no hub required. I can use my phone or my echo to control it. No problems so far
